Tell Wimco Villas “Why You Love To Travel” in 20 words or less, for a chance to win a pair of tickets (worth $1,200) to the Boston Pops Concert on Nantucket on August 14, 2010.

Newport, RI, July 14, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Summer is the time to dream of far-away locales, pristine beach destinations, and relaxing with cocktail and book in hand. Wimco Villas, the premier luxury villa rental company, is celebrating this spirit of summer by asking people to tell Wimco “Why You Love To Travel” in 20 words or less, for the chance to win one of two pairs of tickets to the Boston Pops Concert on Nantucket on August 14, 2010, worth $1,200 a pair.

All 7,000 people that attend the Boston Pops concert will also have the opportunity to enter to win a Free Week in a Villa on St. Barts.

Details of the promotions follow:

Free Tickets to the Boston Pops Concert
- Entrants must visit http://www.wimco.com/popstix and tell Wimco “Why You Love To Travel” in a maximum of 20 words. People can also enter the contest via the Wimco Villas Facebook page.
- Entries will be judged on August 1st, and winners notified on August 2nd. No purchase necessary.
- Two pairs of tickets will be given away, with each pair worth $1,200. Tickets give the holder access to a VIP cocktail party reception before the event, reserved seating for the event, access to a dessert reception after and a firework show after the concert.

Free Week in a Villa
- Wimco is the official raffle prize sponsor for the annual Nantucket Cottage Hospital fundraiser. All 7,000 tickets sold for the August 14 concert on Jettie Beach will feature a unique Wimco raffle number. At intermission, a Wimco representative will come up on stage and draw the winner personally with the help of Katie Couric, the event MC.
- The prize is a 2-bedroom Wimco villa on St. Barts, accommodating up to four people. Wimco will present the winner with a selection of villas to choose from, with blackout dates for December 14-January 3, 2010. If the winner wishes to upgrade to a larger villa, or book during the blackout dates, Wimco will give the winner a credit for that.
